Apollo I.S. IR3 Flame Detector (55000-063APO)

The Apollo I.S. IR3 Flame Detector (55000-063APO) is designed for reliable flame detection in harsh hazardous environments, both indoors and outdoors. Using advanced triple infrared (IR3) sensing technology, the detector is highly sensitive to the low-frequency flickering infrared radiation emitted by flames during combustion, enabling rapid and dependable fire detection.

The 55000-063APO continues to operate effectively even when the sensor is obscured by layers of oil, dust, water vapour, or ice, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications. Its intrinsically safe design and international hazardous-area certifications allow installation in potentially explosive atmospheres where conventional flame detectors cannot be used.

Designed for flexibility and reliability, the detector offers multiple configurable output options, selectable response speeds, optical self-testing, and low power consumption.
